Thanks Zucker it worked.

This is the basics of what I did. I've not included all fields, as some are intuitive, but this is a general list for us non-techies:

Go into CMS
Click ‘Add site page’
Give it a ‘Filename’ (becomes a .php file in the root directory)

Note:
Central_block.tpl is whole page width (apart from the left menu)
2_columns.tpl has a large and small column the whole page (apart from the left menu)
3_columns.tpl has? (Not tried this one yet.)

Click ‘Submit’
The ID number will give you the URL. E.g. ID 6 would be http://www.mysite.com/index.php?page=6
Now go into the ‘Page’ you’ve made and create a ‘Block’
Give it a title – this is what will appear at the top of the page if you choose Yes for ‘Show titlebar’

If central_block.tpl has been chosen, then only the ‘centre’ position option is available
2_columns.tpl gives you Left ; Centre ; News (Centre) ; Navigation Bar ; Bottom / Center
3_columns.tpl gives you Left ; Centre ; Right ; News (Centre) ; Navigation Bar ; Bottom / Center

Click ‘Submit’
Create your text. I used HTML rather than BBCode.
‘Click Submit’


So basically:
Create a site page and what layout options it will have (2 column, 3 column etc). It will get an ID number
Then add as many blocks to it as you need (something for the centre perhaps, the left or right columns etc).
Add Text / HTML or even blocks that come with IP, such as Paypal, Wordgraph or Shoutbox

Thanks again.

thanks for the hints

Very Thanks!!! It's very cool!

I'd hoped a condensed version would be helpful to the rest of us.

Moved to Docs.
